The St. Louis City-County Split: 150 Years Later

Cost: Free
Lee Auditorium
Happy Hour: 5:00-6:30
Talk: 6:30-8:00

These meetups will be a little different - there may or may not be a meetup host at these events, so this is more a way to let people in this group know these history talks are taking place. You may or may not see anyone else from the meetup group there if you choose to go.

Thursday Nights at the Museum is a weekly series where the museum exhibits are open late and you can enjoy pop-up activities, a cash bar, food and more.

"Dive into the history and legacy of St. Louis’s city-county divide with Luis Antonio Perez, host of St. Louis Public Radio’s Meet Me podcast. Perez will sit down with public historian Andrew Wanko to discuss the origins of the 1876 “Great Divorce.” That conversation will be followed by dialogues with city and county leaders, who will share their perspectives on the current relationship between the city and county, the potential benefits and ramifications of the city reentering St. Louis County, and regional cooperation. Along the way, you’ll also hear from St. Louisans whose everday lives are affected by the city-county divide." from https://mohistory.org/events/city-county
